Pinot Grigio? Pinot Gris? What’s the difference? In grape terms there is no difference. Pinot Grigio is the Italian name for the grape, Pinot Gris the French name. But as a style, they are poles apart. Pinot Grigio is picked early and made into a light, zesty, delicate style – just like it is in Italy. In contrast, Pinot Gris is picked later (therefore riper) and often given some treatment in the winery resulting in a more textured, richer, silky, sweeter, and more alcoholic style. Both styles are delicious. The best examples come from cooler climates (like New Zealand, the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and Yarra Valley) and higher altitudes (like the north of Italy).
